The Daily News
1 I had a wonderful day yesterday. Graded CAHSEEz. Yeesh.
2 It rocked.
3 Argh.
4 But it was nice just chillin' with some of the best teachers in the world, and I say that from the bottom of my heart. I don't really think the students appreciate what a wonderful bunch of people their the teachers at YB are. I'm here to tell you that our staff is arguably the most devoted, considerate people walking this planet, and it's time to give them props. Everywhere I looked, there was a classic teacher: Degnan, Diaz, Lo, Galindo, Haggerty, and the list goes on and on. Oh, and some guy named Bob...
5 Kids: you don't EVEN know what you have. Alumni: you DO know what these guys have!
6 To all the other amazing teachers, you guys know!
7 I am SO proud to be an instructor at YB, I can't even tell you. It might sound like shameless cheerleading, but maybe our school needs that. YB is OUR school, and I really think it is a challenge to teach there, but I also think there are very few other schools that have our special stuff.
8 After the test, I saw that my Seniors gave a rest to their Spirit Week plans, which gave me pause to drift over to the tennis courts. I watched my first ever YB tennis competition, and picked the day our ladies challenged Andrew Hill.
9 Sadly, I had to leave, but I respect what I saw: amazingly talented tennis players going against one of the best schools in the district, and we definitely held our own. A lot of very close sets.
10 I talked a few moments with Jimmy, who is the coach, and immediately knew that he is a coach worthy of everybody's respect and support. What a job this guy has done!
11 As of this writing, I don't know who won the whole thing, but I sure was impressed with the team!!! Yeah, lady Warriors!
12 What a totally nice afternoon. Thuy Ann and I have been counting, and this year, we are like fifteen for fifteen for great days!
13 And there will be many more; rest assured.
14 Tired, but a good kind of tired.
15 And today's Friday, and life is always good on Friday!
16 Have a great Friday, everyone!
